I called someone a "huge and beautiful moron" yesterday and I'm still laughing about it.

The People will survive 

In their environment The dirt, scarcity, and the Emptiness of our south The injustice of our greed The practice we inherit The dirt, scarcity and the Emptiness of our south There on the beach I could see it in her eyes I only had a Corona Five cent deposit

12/27/16.

I’ve been listening to “Double Nickels on the Dime” a lot lately.  I’d forgotten how perfect that album was.  George Hurley’s drums actually the true genius of that album.  Yes, I’ve always love D. Boon’s guitar and Mike Watt’s bass, but have you really listened to George’s drums?

Uranium Club have undoubtedly been influenced by Minutemen.  But, no offense to their drummer, but they’re missing a George Hurley.  This music is amazing, but any Minutemen reference to them is absolutely missing the drums. Uranium Club aren’t deficient in any way...just don’t expect that drumming.  

Uranium Club are clearly honing their sound and their influences.  I can also hear Parquet Courts, Devo,  or Wire.

This is released by the excellent label Static Shock Records.  This has several domestic distributors (Lumpy Records...maybe Digital Regress?).

"D. Boon, in his nature, was not there to be still," Watt tells me. "When he played, he wanted to dance. And there was some consequence."
